Actually to buy a Mac is quite affordable. Computers used to cost much more. How bout a Mac with monitor for 10,000 bucks. Oh and buy the way, it couldnt do even a tiny bit of what the new ones are cabable of. I myself am waiting til next year to pick up a dual dual core model after a couple of revisions come out after it. How much power do we really need anyway.

be that as it is, an amazing $3000 computer still costs about $3000 more than I have...

yea, I am a little skeptical. I am one of those, "biger is better" "more is better" type guys. Seeing as only the top line model has dual processors, I am not convinced this was a smart move. I see the stats below, but I don't hardly ever trust stats that a company with a vested interest publishes.

If you go to the store, and max out the Quad (16GB of RAM, two 500GB HDs, the Quatro FX4500, dual 30" displays, airport and bluetooth, wireless keyboard and house, and applecare), EVEN AFTER STUDENT DISCOUNT it'll run you over $20,000.
